It's been an incredible weekend for cycling in Scotland with the Glasgow 2018 European Championships taking over the city and some brilliant results coming from the Scots.
Glasgow 2018 European Championships, Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome
The Great Britain Women's Team Pursuit team brought home Gold with Scottish riders Neah Evans and Katie Archibald demonstrating strength and skill throughout the race.
Following her first European Championship event win, Neah Evans said, "It's such a strong squad to be part of, everyone has peaks and troughs and at the moment I'm at my peak which is fantastic."
John Archibald backed up his Commonwealth Games Silver medal, taking 5th in the Men's 4000m Individual Pursuit with a fantastic time of 4:17.119.
The roar of the home crowds drove Katie Archibald on to win the Silver medal in the Women's 3000m Individual Pursuit. An incredile ride after only just recently returning to form having broken her collarbone earlier this year.
Tickets are still available for this weeks events including BMX and Mountain Bike here.
